Statement of Significance
The old office is a fine building of local stone with an iron roof erected about the turn of the century, with the large chimneys typical of the period and vents in the roof for the circulation of air. Historically it is important as a link with a notable mining company from the early days of the Murchison goldfield/ the Great Fingall Mine Company and is one of the few relics of the town of Day Dawn
Physical Description
This office building was erected for the Great Fingall Mining Co. on their lease at Day Dawn about 1900. The walls are of local stone and the roof of corrugated iron, the workmen being Italian stonemasons engaged specially for the job by the Company. Since the closing of the mines at Day Dawn, the building has fallen into disrepair but as the present owners have maintained the roof the walls and interior are basically sound. The verandahs were removed when in a bad state. Interesting features are the roof vents and chimneys.
